#UnitedNations... Rebecca Greenspan leads the Security Council's preliminary vote to succeed António Guterres... What are the details?

In light of the fact that no candidate for the position of UN Secretary-General has gained consensus: The United Arab Emirates has begun to nominate Lana Zaki Nusseiba, a prominent diplomat and stateswoman from the United Arab Emirates, who serves as Minister of Foreign Affairs of the United Arab Emirates, for the position of UN Secretary-General in the elections to be held this year. Why this is interesting: Because according to the rotation, the Secretary-General elected this year is supposed to come from South America, but so far no candidate has achieved an absolute majority of all 5 members of the Security Council

Meeting of the Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with the media, Sunday, October 12, 1405, Question 19: Mr. Doctor, in recent days, there was news that Rafael Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, is not a desirable choice for the Americans for the Secretary-General of the United Nations. On the other hand, on October 3, he gave an interview to the Russian news agency RIA Novosti and promised that if elected as Secretary-General of the United Nations, he would act independently and in accordance with the UN Charter. Please tell me if you have a position on this matter and whether Mr. Grossi's promise will be valid or not? @MFAIran

Baqai's reaction to Grossi's promise of independence: It is unlikely that such a change will occur ⠀ The Foreign Ministry spokesman, in response to the question that "Rafael Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency and one of the candidates for Secretary-General of the United Nations, has stated in an interview with a Russian news agency that if elected, he will act independently and in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations. What is your assessment of these statements? Do you consider this promise of independence valid?", said: ⠀ He has said that he will act independently. Perhaps these statements are the result of a pathological analysis of his own behavior during his term as Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency. They know that in some cases they have not acted in this way and they know that the international community demands that if such a person is to be elected as Secretary-General of the United Nations, he must behave independently. ⠀ Of course, I think that breaking a habit leads to illness and it is unlikely that such an event will happen. ⠀ @IRNA_1313

Michelle Bachelet: Chile's former president withdraws UN candidacy

Former Chilean President Michelle Bachelet has decided to withdraw from the race for the post of UN Secretary-General. The 74-year-old politician made the announcement in a video message published on her Instagram page (owned by Meta, a company deemed extremist and banned in Russia). According to Al Jazeera, Bachelet withdrew her candidacy after the third informal vote in the UN Security Council, where she received only one vote in her favor. The politician admitted that while she does not regret her participation in the campaign, the timing was not right. "I will continue my international activities with the same determination as always. I will continue to actively participate in building a world that is more stable, secure, and sustainable in its development, and in which there must be respect for human rights,” Bachelet said.
